The Las Vegas Raiders don't like Patrick Mahomes, and they're not afraid to say it.

Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs and Raiders are AFC West rivals, and their battles are always tense.

However, Mahomes and the Chiefs have dominated the division for some time.

Fans got a glimpse of how things could turn out between the two teams on Netflix's “Quarterback,” when Maxx Crosby and Mahomes exchanged a few words after getting into a physical fight.

With training camps resuming, the rivalry is back.

At Raiders camp, players passed around a Kermit the Frog puppet wearing a Mahomes jersey and a wig resembling the three-time Super Bowl winner's hair.

Throughout his career, Mahomes has been the butt of jokes about his voice, which is often compared to that of a puppet.

Before the Super Bowl, the Raiders appeared to have exposed the Chiefs. Despite failing to pass a single yard in the final three quarters on Christmas Day, the Raiders still cruised to a 20-14 victory at Arrowhead.

Mahomes, however, has dominated the Raiders throughout his career. He is 10-2 against Las Vegas. And in those twelve games, Mahomes has a passer rating of 109.6 while throwing for 3,573 yards, 30 touchdowns and just four interceptions while completing 66.2 percent of his passes. So it may not be wise for the Raiders to tease the bear.

The Christmas Day loss apparently lit the fuse for the Chiefs, who have now won six straight games to claim their second consecutive Super Bowl.

The Chiefs don't need much motivation. They've been vocal about their hopes of becoming the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls. They've been talking about it practically since they scored the game-ending touchdown in the Super Bowl in February.
